Hate the indifference of others, what about us?

When watching this movie, I was wondering to whom the information sent by so many people was sent, and whether there were people at the top of the newspaper who were helping to reconcile this matter. In the end, when Robbie said it was himself, when he spoke, he asked "what about us"? At the time, the director wanted to express something different. It's like when Barron said we shouldn't just focus on this person, we should focus on the system. The director wanted to rebuke not only this matter, but the whole society, all the indifferent societies that knew about it but no one gave any help or even any attention. We are all mortals, groping forward in the dark, and when the light comes on, everyone is more or less blamed. The priests need to be blamed for their filthy deeds under the guise of God. The parents of the victims need to be blamed for watching their children being violated but choosing to swallow it up and even regard it as a blessing from God. Lawyers need to be blamed. They bear the responsibility of finding the truth, but they choose to cover up the truth together with the perpetrator. Newspapers need to be blamed, but the events of 20 cases have not been paid attention to... A person in Boston has inflicted further harm on young children violated by priests, making them question the truth of society, Without any hope of justice, any mention is an injury that will be attacked. And this is happening in America, which advertises freedom, democracy, and openness. What is even more sad, however, is that even if there is a heavy blow to the Catholic Church, it has little effect on Bishop Law. To what extent the whole Catholic Church has changed I do not know. For those of us who watch movies, after being deeply shocked, how many people spend how much time to understand this real event? It is a great irony that we are heartbroken by the indifference of others but unaware of our indifference. The truth of society should not be hidden from view because it is deeply hidden, and the dirt of society should not be turned a blind eye just because it is on the body of beasts. When we face the world, we see not only the truth, the good and the beautiful, but also the despair of the helpless people ravaged by money and power. When we fight, we are not just for ourselves to stand in this world like a human being, more What we are doing is for our undisturbed conscience, love and firm belief in justice and fairness, and for our descendants to see the beauty of the world, not all its ugliness.
